📝 Explanation:
Each underlined word is an
adjective because it describes a noun in the sentence. Adjectives help paint a clearer picture of what the nouns are like (e.g., how they look, feel, behave). In this worksheet, all adjectives are descriptive words placed before or after the nouns they modify.
✔ This exercise helps build understanding of parts of speech and improves reading comprehension.
